Indiana here we come

I know, I know, I have been bad about the blog, but I am trying to get my book out to agents and I can't believe the time it sucks down. also, I'm doing twitter (lately completely glued to the info coming from Iran as Twitter is one of the few places you can actually get photos. See: allisondavis531 posted on twitter: (see the photo at the site – @madyar http://twitpic.com/7ki6e - This tweet can be found at http://twitter.com/allisondavis531/status/2201323089

So I can't wait to see you all and swap stories and get ideas and generally relax. Tell Lisa and Mimi they have to relax, too, and can't get all nervous about entertaining us (we're such a hard crew -- ha ha). I think we're going to the musical, which will be loads of fun. I just want to sit around in summer weather in my shorts and flip flops. Need my parka in SF.

I have some fun pics to share and will try and post them before I go...jazz fest, giants at Wrigley in Chicago, camping....all good. xxo

So Many Choices- So Little Time

Stravinsky, The All Night Strut, Picnic with the Pops! It all sounds too good to be true. Thanks, Lisa, for going to the trouble of giving us a run down on all the possible activities. I am delighted that we are all able to be together again. I am up for anything but have listed my top 3 picks above. As I said to Lisa earlier, I think some distractions are good but we seem to all enjoy it the most when we are just sitting around and chewing the fat with a glass of wine. Preparing dinners together and having pajama parties (with good music for dancing) seem to be big hits also!

I had the pleasure of spending last weekend in San Francisco with Jeff Garrity watching Jonathan sail for Harvard; his last hurrah before graduation. It was very interesting to see the tactical manipulation necessary to win these races. We crossed our fingers and muttered under our breaths as the wind shifted and boats spun around each other. Perfect weather and according to Jeff, the perfect venue, as the sailing took place close enough to shore that we could actually keep track of our favorite sailor. In the evening we feasted on yummy treats, wine and sake before having a fabulous meal at Allison's famous Blue Plate. I urge all of you to dine there on your next visit to SF. It was fabulous.

Ok....so 'til we meet again which will be very soon!
